That's why they call them estimates

The other day I posted an item about the potential death total in Myanmar as a result of a weekend cyclone. It was 10,000. The very next day it was up to 22,000. Today, the Globe cited a UN or US diplomat there putting the estimate as high as 100,000. And, oddly, they reverted to calling the country Burma.
